Fixed a bug where if the 'Space bar' were assigned to another function, it would erroneously continue to close the Message Log, Quest Log, and Waypoint menu.

Updated the ReadMe.htm to document the PK gold-drop penalty.
Changed the text color for Blizzard Representatives in Diablo II chat rooms to yellow.
Australian users connect to the USWest Realm instead of the Asia Realm.

All you poeple who continue to be 'proud' of having the ripped off software, or wanting to know where to download it, or how to burn it, etc... If you have to ask these questions, for one, you don't deserve it anyway. GO BUY THE GAMES. PERIOD. If you keep ripping off games, the companies will no longer be able to make the high quality games we want. But then, you would be the first people to **** on the companies after they go under from your own PIRACY. BUY THE GAMES YOU CHEAP BASTARDS.
